first, best, biggest!

Last weeks paper talked about some punk(s) painting a swastika onto the hood of a car in town. This part of town is well to do and happens to have a higher jewish percentage than other parts of town. (for instance, Robert Kraft owns a home nearby).
It's terrible to read about.

Now a week later, the headline is about the town committees meeting to discuss the "swastika incident" and how we should re-institute the towns affirmative action committee.

There have been no other reported crimes of this sort in the news locally.

Once again we have two sides:
1. the people who want to over-react and loudly exclaim how they're the most offended and anyone who isn't just as vocal about it is obviously a racist.
and
2. people who see a crime and want it punished far more severely than it has been in the past, thereby preventing other punks from duplicating it.


THere is no third side. No one thinks it's OK to do it. And no one outside the punk and his uncircumcised sugar daddy thinks it's even remotely funny.

I think next week the paper may request a candle light vigil.

No word if the car hood has been cleaned or repainted.

Ironically, it was a volkswagon...

So, Volkswagen drivers are racists..??

reading comprension issues guys?
The volkswagon belongs to Robert Kraft.

which one is the dumb son?

I miss dubya.....

Too late, we already did......

Joining goose steppers for Trump, MACS?

Who is Robert Kraft?

The MACARONI KING?

Interesting viewpoint.
But painting a swastika is different than painting a big red X on the hood. Even if the victim isn't Jewish or otherwise impacted by the significance, it is an implied threat.

Never heard of 'em. I voted for the tweeter in chief simply because I thought he was the lesser of two evils. I haven't changed my mind... and I am hopeful that the distaste people seem to have for him make them take notice of the horrendous job the house and senate politicians are doing and vote all of them out.

I am unapologetically conservative, and don't believe there is ONE politician in office working for US. We need to take back our country, and maybe captain social media can steer us in that direction.

If, again, you were attempting to label me a nazi simply because our ideologies are different... I'm sorry to disappoint. My family is white, black, asian, and hispanic... and I love 'em all. Got a couple gays and lesbos, and I love them, too.

And I still firmly believe in personal responsibility, family values, and absolutely zero government 'programs' outside of national defense and infrastructure. I would be in favor of extending public schooling to all colleges, too, if they'd pass a school voucher program. I'd like for parents to be able to choose which school their child attends based on merit, not location.

Agreed.

Not sure, but if there are I disagree with them, too. A crime is a crime.

Premeditated murder should be met with death. One appeal, within a month. If it fails, you die the next day.

The death penalty would be a major deterrent if we used it.

Hate crimes: I agree that a crime is a crime.

Death penalty: proven it isn't a deterrent. Which seems strange.

We don't use it.

After 20 years, and 27 appeals, we do (5 appeals in Texas). If you're convicted, you should get ONE appeal... capital punishment cases should be heard by the supreme court within a month. If they say you're guilty... you die the next day.

IT WOULD BE A DETERRENT.

Rule #1 in Criminal Justice Administration: for a punishment to be a deterrent it must be swift, certain, and severe. Our penalties are none of these.

Simply because we don't use it effectually.

I wasn't just thinking in the US

I'd try the Internets.....

So does he still want them executed? So they won't not do it again and stuff?

Watched a recent interview with a couple of the Dudes.. the said as long as the Jefferson and Washington memorials are the black man won't succeed... The memorials are oppressing them...

Frank, I think you are right that cop murderers have different rules. That should not be the case either.

as you should

#allteethmatter... ass...

smile when you say that...

My twisted brain makes a pretty easy distinction. I've always been opposed to the idea of 'hate crimes' being different than 'regular crime'...though, I'll admit TG's suggestion that the swastika constitutes a threat may cause me to think on it a bit. (Perhaps, if that can be agreed on legally, than they can simply use existing vandalism AND threat statues...IDK)

But the concept of having different penalties for crimes against uniformed (or 'known') LE's is perfectly fine with me. I can easily interpret shooting a cop as different than attempting to murder a civilian. Not just the need for protection of cops, but also the idea that you don't have to get into motivation or guess at what's in someone's head. If an Asian kills three Native Americans, you gotta start guessing at to why....even with circumstantial evidence from social media, etc. If a guy shoots a cop who walked up to his car during a traffic stop...well, I don't think anyone needs to care as to 'why'
